Haha, same as ours was in Montana... plant it, abuse it, harvest it

Anyone know of a good variety that will do okay in desert heat? Given
a choice, I like the thick red kind best (no idea of names).

Here's a good rhubarb article:

If your desert gets good and cold in the winter (high desert), you could
probably grow rhubarb. It seems to favor having a "real" winter.
